• In angle mode (

switch position 0

), the quadcopter will self-level and has a bank angle limit

of approximately 60 degrees.

• In air mode (

switch position 1

), the quadcopter will not self-level and does not have a bank angle 

limit. At low throttle, the fl ight controller will continue to stabilize the quadcopter to hold whatever 
attitude was last commanded. This mode is useful for fl ying smooth aerobatic maneuvers at both 
high and low throttle settings.

• In acro mode (

switch position 2

), the quadcopter will not self-level and does not have a bank 

angle limit. At low throttle, the fl ight controller will not stabilize the quadcopter. The pilot must 
actively control the quadcopter to maintain a desired attitude. This mode is most preferred when 
immediate changes in altitude are desired, such as in racing. Use rates and expo to tune the 
performance according to your fl ying style.

Refer to the 

Transmitter Setup 

for transmitter switch selection and specifi c setup information.

Flight Mode and Rate Selection

Transmitter and Receiver Binding

Bind the quadcopter to your transmitter following the directions below.

General Binding Procedure

1. Disconnect the fl ight battery from the quadcopter.
2. Set the model type in your transmitter settings to “Acro” mode.
3. Center all trims on your transmitter.
4. Power off the transmitter and fully lower the throttle.
5. Connect the fl ight battery in the quadcopter. The LED on the 3-in-1 control unit fl ashes red 

during initialization, then fl ashes blue when it is ready to bind.

6. Put the transmitter into bind mode while powering on the transmitter.
7. Release the bind button/switch after 2–3 seconds. The quadcopter is bound when the blue LED 

on the 3-in-1 control unit turns solid.

8. Disconnect the fl ight battery and power the transmitter off.

If you encounter problems, obey the binding instructions and refer to the troubleshooting guide for 
other instructions. If needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support offi ce. For a list of

Low Voltage Cutoff  (LVC)

Once the battery reaches 3V under load, the ESC will continuously lower power supplied to the motor 
until complete shutdown occurs. This helps prevent over-discharge of the Li-Po battery. Land imme-
diately once the ESC activates LVC. Continuing to fl y after LVC can damage the battery, cause a crash 
or both. Crash damage and batteries damaged due to over-discharge are not covered under warranty.

Repeatedly fl ying the aircraft until LVC activates will damage the fl ight battery. 

Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge. 
During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell. 

FPV Camera and Video Transmitter

Channel Selection:

1.  Channel 1 is indicated by the red LED glowing solid.
2.  Press the button to cycle through the channels 

(1-8). The red LED will fl ash once as you cycle 
through each channel. Press the button once for 
each channel until the desired channel is reached. 
If unsure of the current transmitter channel, press 
the button to cycle the channels until you reach 
channel 1, indicated by a solid red LED, then cycle 
to the channel desired.

Band Selection:

1. Press and hold the button to change the video 

transmitter band.

2.  Each time the button is pressed and held the

blue band LED will indicate a change to the next 
available band. The blue LEDs indicate FS/IRC band, 
band E (North America only), band A, race band and 
band B, in that order as shown in the illustration.

NOTICE:

 Consult local laws and ordinances before operating FPV (fi rst person view) equipment. 

In some areas, FPV operation may be limited or prohibited. You are responsible for operating this 
product in a legal and responsible manner.

See the Available Frequency table to fi nd the desired video channel and band. The video transmitter 
channel and band are changed using the button on the side of the camera module, as shown. There are 
6 LEDs on the back of the camera module. The red LED is the channel indicator. The next 5 blue LEDs 
are the band indicators.

IMPORTANT:

 The 25mW video transmitter included with the European Union version of the Inductrix FPV 

Pro (BLH8570EU) has 4 blue LEDs. Band E is not available on this version.

Fly in open areas, away from people, trees, cars, and buildings. The range of the system can be 
impacted by any obstructions blocking your signal. It is normal to see break up in the video going 
behind trees and other obstacles.

THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE

. This product may include code developed by one or more third parties (“Third 

Party Software”). Some Third Party Software may be subject to other terms and conditions that may be 
available for download with the product documentation. Notwithstanding the terms and conditions of this 
Agreement, the Third Party Software is licensed to you subject to the terms and conditions of the software

instructions where a copy of such source code can be obtained.

The LEDs on the Inductrix indicate the front and back of the quadcopter. The white LEDs indicate the front. 
The red LEDs indicate the back.

Takeoff 

Start the motors by setting the motor arm switch to the on position. Increase the throttle until the model is 
approximately 2 ft. (600mm) off the ground in a low-level hover and concentrate on balancing the throttle 
stick’s position so that the quadcopter holds a steady hover altitude. In some cases, you may need to make 
a few short “hops” to an altitude of just a few inches until you become familiar with the control inputs and 
trim settings required to maintain a steady hover and altitude. 

Hovering

The Inductrix quadcopter requires minor throttle adjustments to maintain its altitude in hover. Remem-
ber to keep these throttle adjustments as minimal as possible. Large adjustments could result in a 
loss of control or a possible crash.

While attempting to establish a low-level hover, check to see if any trim adjustments are required to 
help keep the quadcopter from constantly drifting in various directions. If you fi nd that it constantly drifts 
without any directional control input, land the model before making any adjustments to the trim settings.

• If the nose of the quadcopter rotates to the left or right, adjust the rudder trim.
• If the quadcopter continually drifts forward or backward, adjust the elevator trim.
• If the quadcopter continually drifts to the left or right, adjust the aileron trim.

Continue making minor trim adjustments until the machine hovers at a low altitude with very little 
drifting and directional control input. If this is your fi rst multicopter or helicopter, seek the help of an 
experienced pilot to trim the model for you before making your fi rst fl ight.

With your quadcopter properly trimmed and maintaining a stable low-level hover, practice using the 
rudder, elevator and aileron controls to familiarize yourself with the machine’s responses to control 
inputs. Remember to keep the control inputs as minimal as possible.

Average fl ight times are approximately 4 minutes.

NOTICE:

 

Crash damage is not covered under warranty.

Landing

To land, slowly decrease the throttle while in a low-level hover. After landing, stop the motors by changing the 
motor arm switch to the off position; disconnect and remove the battery from the aircraft after use to prevent 
over discharge. To prevent excessive wear to the motors, always allow the motors to cool between fl ights.

During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell.

If for any reason it is necessary to change one or 
more of the propellers on the quadcopter refer to the 
illustration to fi nd the correct rotation direction of the 
propeller being replaced. Only replace the propeller 
with a propeller of the same rotation direction.
To install the propeller, simply press onto the motor 
shaft. Make sure the propeller spins freely after 
installation.
Do not press the propeller too far onto the motor 
shaft. Doing so may damage the propeller or motor 
and keep the propeller from rotating freely.
